I never paid attention to this when first posted, but isn’t the “latest” list offered in the article a Forbes list from 2019?

The Volswire article is from yesterday, but as UTEE posted, the data seems to be a few years old. Why the Vols dude decided the old news was worthy of a new article, who knows.

Probably the biggest single differentiator in there, after TV revenue, is sales of licensed products. Texas is at a disadvantage on TV revenue compared to SEC schools, so is USC and the rest of the PAC12.  After that, it's sales of licensed stuff.

USC just isn't that big a brand, anymore, if it ever was.  Clemson never was.  Arkansas has the SEC head start, plus they sell a lot of gear to all the arkies.

Also, the Forbes list cited, that makes up the bulk of the article, is from 2019 and averages the prior three years.

Paging @Randolph Duke to decipher and debunk this ranking.

I guess the headline provides the reasoning, that because of the shakeups in realignment, they wanted to take a look at the various schools' financial value and viability.  But since the data's so old, it's really not particularly illuminating.

Generally speaking, the more valuable teams are able to generate sufficient revenues to meet expenses.
